After His Doodle.

Frank Crawford of Xenia, well-known
Little Miami bridge carpenter. had narrow
escape from losing $1,000 to couple OF
fakirs at Cincinnati Saturday. An officer
noticed an apparently drunken man being
steered along by a couple Of sharks and con-
cluded to take him for safe keeping. On
arriving at the station house the officer
noticed that he acted queerly and called the
police surgeon, who after examination, said
that the man had evidently been drugged
His statement was that he had only taken
two drinks in Vine street saloon. On his
person was found about $1,000, which the
fakirs were evidently after. Crawford. is a
sober, gentlemanly citizen, never known to
be drunk or out of the way and it is evident
that the fakirs were after him, although he
does not think they knew that he had the
money.

An Explanation.

To The Editor Of the Rcgiste1.
SIR:-In your local report of yesterday
the language would seem to imply that the
undersigned felt aggrieved that the Seventh
ward should receive any of the Board Of
Public Works appropriation. What con-
tended for was that each ward should re-
ceive in proportion TO the amount of city
taxes it paid. As to last years work or
dcred in that ward my understanding is
that it has not been done. The Finance
Committee ought TO order it to be done,
although the Board OF Public Works will
no doubt have it done whether the Finance
Committee orders it or not. A member of
the Committee at the meeting said this
work was not all done by the old Board of
Public Works. Others thought it had been
done already. &. Il. CALDWELL.

Maggie Mitchell.

The mere mention that Maggie Mitchell
will appear at the Opera House Saturday
evening, with matinee in the afternoon,
is sufficient to draw crowded houses on
both occasions. Already the demand for
seets has been great, and they will be put
on sale this morning at Banners music
store. Saturday afternoon by request that
old favorite "Fanchon" will be given, and
in the evening the beautiful play "Lorle;
or, the Artists Dream will be presented.
Miss Mitchell is ever popular and ever
charming and Wheeling people always wit.
ness her performances with a feeling OF
deep admiration and pleasure. Her rem
dtion of "Fanchon, rs interpreted by her
is one of the strongest and at the same time
most varied roles upon the stage, and the
play abounds in interest throughout.
''Lorle" is nothing behind it in beauty and
effectiveness.
